I did a ton of research to get to this; because of the confusion between the Velbon and Hakuba Brands I thought no one carried it... Perseverance paid though.
What is it for? I want to take macro shots, which with my setup (Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM Standard & Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras + Kenko DG Auto Extension Tube Set for the Canon EOS AF Mount.) involves being really close to the subject and an extremely shallow depth of field; focusing implies moving the entire camera on a tripod or moving the subject, which is very impractical.
The macro slider allows you to move the entire camera forward and backward, left or right with precision. The whole thing feels sturdy and movement is smooth.
